publicans are on the ground. They have
not had time to confer with each other
but they seem solid against Camdon and
offer him no comfort. The one clear cut

Col. Chancellor and Chairman D. Fl.
Leonard came in to-day, and were at once
the centre OF attraction for Camden men.
In reply to my question Col. Chancellor

Governor Wilson is not making any

There Ia good deal Of talk to-day about
postponing tho Democratic Senatorial
caucus until the twentieth. The State
Bar Association meets on the 10Th and
that will bring large number Of actiye
Democrats here. Each side hopes to
profit by this pressure. The idea is to get
a pressure Of public opinion.

There was some amusement over the
the flaming "exposs' in to-day's Register.
Democratic already knew Of the Republi-
can State Committees confidential letter
and had their chuckle over it. When the
committees letter is reduced to simple
elements it means that Republicans must
defeat Camden if they can. That is all
right, and there is no Becret about thai
purpose The other point is that Repub-
lican Senator may he elected. That is the
committees little joke and political com.
lnittees must have their jokes. Tho letter
was a waste Of powder, and that is all that
can bs said.
Candidates for places in the Senate and
House are thick as bees. They come
down from the hills and the very hollows
give them up. For Clerk OF the Senate,
Anderson, OF Nicholas, seems to be reas.
onably sure OF his old place and 30 ia
Peyton for the Honse CLERK. After that
the view wideps. For Ssrgent alarms OF
the House, Dorr, OF Webster, Sargent, OF
Hardy, Stump, Of Gilmer, Tppett, OF Ma
son, and Alshire, Of Nicholas, are button
holing right and lett. Sargent is good
possibility with Tppett within call.
For eergeant-at-Arms OF :, the Senate
Simpson, Of Berkeley, Hermann Stoetzsr,
Of Ohio, Roch and Boggeas, of Kanawha,
and Penitentiary Director Markham, OF
Wayne, are making life uncomfortable for
the delegates. = t5'@sza5 iss8i7'--
